Black Americans more hesitant about overseas military intervention: report


By Xia Lin

NEW YORK, Nov. 23 (Xinhua) -- African Americans are much less in favor of sending U.S. forces to defend Ukraine than the general U.S. population, according to the findings from a new poll from the American Statecraft Program at the Carnegie Endowment.

Only 21 percent of Black Americans supported sending military forces to Ukraine, according to the data collected online in early September. In contrast, in a separate poll in August, 38 percent of all Americans supported sending U.S. troops to defend Ukraine.
